Filming is so much to do with rhythm, as is music, and if it isn't there then you know in the end nobody can save it really, they can't.

More quotes by Ben Kingsley
Hopefully, as I get older in the business, I make my choices more accurately, and I perhaps know from either the script or the first meeting that it isn't going to work.
Ben Kingsley
I don't want to be like the actor who rehearses everything in the bathroom, then comes to the set and carries on completely uninterrupted while the other actors tiptoe away.
Ben Kingsley
Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It's harder.
Ben Kingsley
In cinema, the leading player is the director.
Ben Kingsley
I always try to find something I admire about every character I play.
Ben Kingsley
I don't do anything that would ever come across as advice or suggestion, but it's just part of a debate. Like, I would like to try this, or Let me do another one with more stillness, let me emphasize that. Rather than I think you should emphasize this, I think - you know, I don't impose choices.
Ben Kingsley
If the director wishes to print it, then you have a series of choices, maybe millions of choices within that minute-and-a-half, or 80 seconds, or 2 minutes or however long or short the take is, you have all those choices committed to celluloid. I find that absolutely thrilling.
Ben Kingsley
We are adjusters. We empathize, we change rhythm and above all we listen to our fellow actors-if they're good actors.
Ben Kingsley
The many many imponderables come together when a film opens and for all sorts of reasons it may or may not succeed.
Ben Kingsley
One of the greatest things drama can do, at it's best, is to redefine the words we use every day such as love, home, family, loyalty and envy. Tragedy need not be a downer.
Ben Kingsley
There's so much crap talked about acting.
Ben Kingsley
What is chess, do you think? Those who play for fun or not at all dismiss it as a game. The ones who devote their lives to it for the most part insist that it's a science. It's neither. Bobby Fischer got underneath it like no one before and found at its center, art.
Ben Kingsley
The biggest surprise in a man's life is old age.
Ben Kingsley
Well, it's wonderful to be identified strongly with my work.
Ben Kingsley
With narration, you have to be very accurate with your voice. It's a good exercise to do.
Ben Kingsley
There is always something about the villains that I'm able to play, quote unquote, that isn't villainous.
Ben Kingsley
Family is family over the internet, over Skype, over the telephone. Love is love. You don't have to actually go through some ritual to prove that you love somebody.
Ben Kingsley
I told myself that I would not go back to the camps as an actor ever again, that I was very frightened of wearing a yellow star. It was fear, it was cowardice, I was.
Ben Kingsley
If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.
Ben Kingsley
I think that various styles and methods and approaches are an invention of people who don't understand the process of acting and who try very hard to label things.
